8 0

The high pressure in the Great Basin forces it way toward the lower pressure on the coast usually during the winter months. As the air sinks, it heats up, loses moisture, and increases in speed as it forces its way through the canyons. So, hot intense winds are the result. This also contributes to the forest fires in the area.

When these low humidity conditions combine with warm air and high wind speeds are known to create critical fire weather conditions.
